(c) PFPC Trust’s liability to the Fund and any person or entity claiming through the Fund for any loss, claim, suit, controversy, breach or damage of any nature whatsoever (including but not limited to those arising out of or related to this Agreement) and regardless of the form of action or legal theory (“Loss”) shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the fees received by PFPC Trust for services provided hereunder during the twenty four (24) months immediately prior to the date of such Loss or (ii) $2,000,000.

which PFPC Trust reasonably believes to be genuine. PFPC Trust shall not be liable for any damages that are caused by actions or omissions taken by PFPC Trust in accordance with Written Instructions or advice of counsel.

(f) Neither PFPC Trust nor its affiliates shall be liable for any consequential, incidental, exemplary, punitive, special or indirect damages, whether or not the likelihood of such damages was known by PFPC Trust or its affiliates.

(g) Neither party may assert a cause of action against the other party or any of its affiliates for any alleged cause of action relating to this Agreement more than the later of 12 months after such cause of action arose or 12 months after the actual discovery of such alleged breach.

(h) Each party shall have a duty to mitigate damages for which the other party may become responsible.

(i) This Section 12 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

13. Indemnification.

(a) Absent PFPC Trust’s failure to meet its Standard of Care, the Fund agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless PFPC Trust and its affiliates and their respective directors, trustees, officers, agents and employees from all claims, suits, actions, damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, costs and reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees and court costs, travel costs and other reasonable out-of-pocket costs related to dispute resolution)

arising directly or indirectly from: (i) any action or omission to act by any prior service provider of the Fund, except to the extent PFPC Trust provided services to the Fund prior to the effective date of this Agreement; and (ii) any action taken or omitted to be taken by PFPC Trust in connection with the provision of services to the Fund.

(b) PFPC Trust will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Fund and its officers, trustees, and employees, from all claims, suits, actions, damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, costs and reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees and court costs, travel costs and other reasonable out-of-pocket costs related to dispute resolution) to the extent arising directly out of PFPC Trust’s failure to meet its Standard of Care.

(i) Notice of the Action. A party that seeks indemnification under this Section 13 must promptly give the other party notice of any legal action. But a delay in notice does not relieve an indemnifying party of any liability to an indemnified party, except to the extent the indemnifying party shows that the delay prejudiced the defense of the action.

(ii) Participating in or Assuming the Defense. The indemnifying party may participate in the defense at any time or it may assume the defense by obtaining consent of the indemnified party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and the parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other. After assuming the defense, the indemnifying party:

(1) must select an attorney that is satisfactory to the other party;

(2) shall permit the indemnified party to participate in settlement or

defense through separate counsel chosen by the indemnified party (subject to the consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), provided that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be borne by the indemnifying party unless one of the following conditions shall exist: (x) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim or employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, or (y) the defendants in any such action include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and the indemnified party has reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, or (z) there exists or will exist a conflict of interest between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party for the same counsel to represent both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and;

(3) must not compromise or settle the action (unless such compromise or settlement includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such action) without the other party’s consent (but the other party must not unreasonably withhold its consent); and

(4) is not liable for any compromise or settlement made without its consent, so long as indemnifying party is contesting the

indemnifiable claim in good faith.

(iii) Failing to Assume the Defense. If the indemnifying party fails to participate in or assume the defense within 30 days after receiving notice of the action, the indemnifying party is bound by any determination made in the action or by any compromise or settlement made by the other party provided, however, that the indemnified party shall notify the indemnifying party of any compromise or settlement of any such indemnifiable claim.

(d) The provisions of this Section 13 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

14. Description of Services.

(a)	Delivery of the Property. The Fund will deliver or arrange for delivery to PFPC Trust, all the Property owned by the Portfolios, including cash received as a result of the distribution of Shares, during the term of this Agreement.

(b)	Receipt and Disbursement of Money. PFPC Trust, acting upon Written Instructions, shall open and maintain a separate account for each separate Portfolio of the Fund (each an “Account”) and shall maintain in the Account of a particular Portfolio all cash and other assets received from or for the Fund specifically designated to such Account.

	PFPC Trust shall make cash payments from or for the Account of a Portfolio only for:

	(i)	purchases of securities in the name of a Portfolio, PFPC Trust, PFPC Trust’s nominee or a sub-custodian or nominee thereof as provided in sub-section (j) and for which PFPC Trust has received a copy of the broker’s or dealer’s confirmation or payee’s invoice, as appropriate;

	(ii)	purchase or redemption of Shares of the Fund delivered to PFPC Trust;

	(iv)	payment to, subject to receipt of Written Instructions, the Fund’s transfer agent, as agent for the shareholders, of an amount equal to the amount of dividends and distributions stated in the Written Instructions to be distributed in cash by the transfer agent to shareholders, or, in lieu of paying the Fund’s transfer agent, PFPC Trust may arrange for the direct payment of cash dividends and distributions to shareholders in accordance with procedures mutually agreed upon from time to time by and among the Fund, PFPC Trust and the Fund’s transfer agent;

(c)	Receipt of Securities; Subcustodians.

(i) PFPC Trust shall hold all securities received by it for the Accounts in a separate account that physically segregates such securities from those of any other persons, firms or corporations, except for securities held in a Book-Entry System or through a sub-custodian or depository. All such securities shall be held or disposed of only upon Written Instructions or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. PFPC Trust shall have no power or authority to assign, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise dispose

of any such securities or investment, except upon the express terms of this Agreement or upon Written Instructions authorizing the transaction. In no case may any member of the Fund’s Board of Trustees, or any officer, employee or agent of the Fund withdraw any securities.

At PFPC Trust’s own expense and for its own convenience, PFPC Trust may enter into sub-custodian agreements with other banks or trust companies to perform duties described in this sub-section (c) with respect to domestic assets. Such bank or trust company shall have aggregate capital, surplus and undivided profits, according to its last published report, of at least one million dollars ($1,000,000), if it is a subsidiary or affiliate of PFPC Trust, or at least twenty million dollars ($20,000,000) if such bank or trust company is not a subsidiary or affiliate of PFPC Trust. In addition, such bank or trust company must be qualified to act as custodian and agree to comply with the relevant provisions of applicable rules and regulations. Any such arrangement will not be entered into without prior written notice to the Fund (or as otherwise provided in the 1940 Act).

In addition, PFPC Trust may enter into arrangements with sub-custodians with respect to services regarding foreign assets. Any such arrangement will not be entered into without prior written notice to the Fund (or as otherwise provided in the 1940 Act).

Sub-custodians utilized by PFPC Trust may be subsidiaries or affiliates of PFPC Trust, and such entities will be compensated for their services at such rates as are agreed between the entity and PFPC Trust. PFPC Trust shall remain responsible for the acts and omissions of any sub-custodian chosen by PFPC Trust under the terms of this sub-section (c) to the same extent that PFPC Trust is responsible for its own acts and omissions under this Agreement.

(d) Transactions Requiring Instructions. Upon receipt of Oral Instructions or Written Instructions and not otherwise, PFPC Trust shall:

(i) deliver any securities held for a Portfolio against the receipt of payment for the sale of such securities or otherwise in accordance with standard market practice;

(ii) execute and deliver to such persons as may be designated in such Oral Instructions or Written Instructions, proxies, consents, authorizations, and any other instruments whereby the authority of a Portfolio as owner of any securities may be exercised;

	(iii)	deliver any securities to the issuer thereof, or its agent, when such securities are called, redeemed, retired or otherwise become payable at the option of the holder; provided that, in any such case, the cash or other consideration is to be delivered to PFPC Trust;

	(vii)	release securities belonging to a Portfolio to any bank or trust company for the purpose of a pledge or hypothecation to secure any loan incurred by the Fund on behalf of that Portfolio; provided, however, that securities shall be released only upon payment to PFPC Trust of the monies borrowed, except that in cases where additional collateral is required to secure a borrowing already made subject to proper prior authorization, further securities may be released for that purpose; and repay such loan upon redelivery to it of the securities pledged or hypothecated therefor and upon surrender of the note or notes evidencing the loan;

	(viii)	release and deliver securities owned by a Portfolio in connection with any repurchase agreement entered into by the Fund on behalf of that Portfolio, but only on receipt of payment therefor; and pay out monies of the Fund in connection with such repurchase agreements, but only upon the delivery of the securities;

	(ix)	release and deliver or exchange securities owned by the Fund in connection with any conversion of such securities, pursuant to their terms, into other securities;

	(x)	release and deliver securities to a broker in connection with the broker’s custody of margin collateral relating to futures and options transactions;

	(xi)	release and deliver securities owned by the Fund for the purpose of redeeming in kind shares of the Fund upon delivery thereof to PFPC Trust; and

	(xii)	release and deliver or exchange securities owned by the Fund for other purposes.

		PFPC Trust must also receive a certified resolution describing the nature of the corporate purpose and the name and address of the person(s) to whom delivery shall be made when such action is pursuant to sub-paragraph d(xii).

(e) Use of Book-Entry System or Other Depository. PFPC Trust will deposit in Book-Entry Systems and other depositories all securities belonging to the Portfolios eligible for deposit therein and will utilize Book-Entry Systems and other depositories to the extent possible in connection with settlements of purchases and sales of securities by the Portfolios, and deliveries and returns of securities loaned, subject to repurchase agreements or used as collateral in connection with borrowings. PFPC Trust shall continue to perform such duties until it receives Written Instructions or Oral Instructions authorizing contrary actions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, PFPC Trust’s use of a Book-Entry System shall comply with the requirements of Rule 17f-4 under the 1940 Act.

PFPC Trust shall administer a Book-Entry System or other depository as follows:

(i) With respect to securities of each Portfolio which are maintained in a Book-Entry System or another depository, the records of PFPC Trust shall identify by book-entry or otherwise those securities as belonging to each Portfolio.

(ii) Assets of each Portfolio deposited in a Book-Entry System or another depository will (to the extent consistent with applicable law and standard practice) at all times be segregated from any assets and cash controlled by

PFPC Trust in other than a fiduciary or custodian capacity but may be commingled with other assets held in such capacities.

PFPC Trust will provide the Fund with such reports on its own system of internal control as the Fund may reasonably request from time to time.

(f) Registration of Securities. All securities held for a Portfolio which are issued or issuable only in bearer form, except such securities maintained in the Book-Entry System or in another depository, shall be held by PFPC Trust in bearer form; all other securities maintained for a Portfolio may be registered in the name of the Fund on behalf of that Portfolio, PFPC Trust, a Book-Entry System, another depository, a sub-custodian, or any duly appointed nominee of the Fund, PFPC Trust, Book-Entry System, depository or sub-custodian. The Fund reserves the right to instruct PFPC Trust as to the method of registration and safekeeping of the securities of the Fund. The Fund agrees to furnish to PFPC Trust appropriate instruments to enable PFPC Trust to maintain or deliver in proper form for transfer, or to register in the name of its nominee or in the name of the Book-Entry System or in the name of another appropriate entity, any securities which it may maintain for the Accounts. With respect to uncertificated securities which are registered in the name of the Fund or a Portfolio (or a nominee thereof), PFPC Trust will reflect such securities on its records based upon the holdings information provided to it by the issuer of such securities, but notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary PFPC Trust shall not be obligated to safekeep such securities or to perform other duties with respect to such securities other than to make payment for the purchase of such securities upon receipt of

Oral or Written Instructions, accept in sale proceeds received by PFPC Trust upon the sale of such securities of which PFPC Trust is informed pursuant to Oral or Written Instructions, and accept in other distributions received by PFPC Trust with respect to such securities or reflect on its records any reinvested distributions with respect to such securities of which it is informed by the issuer of the securities.

(g) Voting and Other Action. Neither PFPC Trust nor its nominee shall vote any of the securities held pursuant to this Agreement by or for the account of a Portfolio, except in accordance with Written Instructions. PFPC Trust, directly or through the use of another entity, shall execute in blank and promptly deliver all notices, proxies and proxy soliciting materials received by PFPC Trust as custodian of the Property to the registered holder of such securities. If the registered holder is not the Fund on behalf of a Portfolio, then Written Instructions or Oral Instructions must designate the person who owns such securities.

(h) Transactions Not Requiring Instructions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement requiring instructions in order to take a particular action, in the absence of a contrary Written Instruction, PFPC Trust is authorized to take the following actions without the need for instructions:

(i) Collection of Income and Other Payments.

(A) collect and receive for the account of each Portfolio, all income, dividends, distributions, coupons, option premiums, other payments and similar items, included or to be included in the Property, and, in addition, promptly advise each Portfolio of such receipt and credit such income to each Portfolio’s custodian account;

(B) endorse and deposit for collection, in the name of the Fund, checks, drafts, or other orders for the payment of money;

(C) receive and hold for the account of each Portfolio all securities received as a distribution on the Portfolio’s securities as a result of a stock dividend, share split-up or reorganization, recapitalization, readjustment or other rearrangement or distribution of rights or similar securities issued with respect to any securities belonging to a Portfolio and held by PFPC Trust hereunder;

(D) present for payment and collect the amount payable upon all securities which may mature or be called, redeemed, retired or otherwise become payable (on a mandatory basis) on the date such securities become payable; and

(B) PFPC Trust shall:

(1) pay all income items held by it which call for payment upon presentation and hold the cash received by it upon such payment for the account of each Portfolio;

(3) hold for the account of each Portfolio all stock dividends, rights and similar securities issued with respect to any securities held by PFPC Trust; and

(4) subject to receipt of such documentation and information as PFPC Trust may request, execute as agent on behalf of the Fund all necessary ownership certificates required by a national governmental taxing authority or under the laws of any U.S. state now or hereafter in effect, inserting the Fund’s name, on behalf of a Portfolio, on such certificate as the owner of the securities covered thereby, to the extent it may lawfully do so.

(iii) Other Matters.

(A) Subject to receipt of such documentation and information as PFPC Trust may request, PFPC Trust will, in such jurisdictions as PFPC Trust may agree from time to time, seek to reclaim or obtain a reduction with respect to any withholdings or other taxes relating to assets maintained hereunder (provided that PFPC Trust will not be liable for failure to obtain any particular relief in a particular jurisdiction); and

(B) PFPC Trust is authorized to deduct or withhold any sum in respect of tax which PFPC Trust considers is required to be deducted or withheld “at source” by any relevant law or practice.

(i) Segregated Accounts.
